MAACK Museo Kalenarte a Casacalenda

MAACK, which stands for Museo all'Aperto d'Arte Contemporanea Kalenarte (Open-air Museum of Contemporary Art), was founded in 1992 by architect Massimo Palumbo with the aim of supporting the promotion and dissemination of contemporary art in the territory. The cultural project started in 1990 with the Kalenarte project initiated by the municipal administration of the small Molise village of Casacalenda, then supported and promoted by the Kalenarte association. The works of this museum are located throughout the municipal territory with the aim of reinterpreting neglected or anonymous places in the village through their relationship with art. The twenty-one permanent installations created to date are set up in streets, views, woods and squares. A few years ago, the Museum was joined by the Franco Libertucci Civic Gallery of Contemporary Art, whose collection currently consists of around 114 works, mostly paintings on canvas, sculptures and installations.
